Experiencethe factor

We were so impressed by the gigantic room and even larger patio. Super clean. The grounds and gardens are spectacular. It rained our one day there so we had spa treatments which were �rst class. Fantastic open air jacuzzi where we relaxed and watched the rain but were covered by a grass roof. All 3 meals were terri�c with wonderful staff. Don't miss the hike to the waterfall. And the beautiful pools! An A+ last night in Costa Rica.

"Best hotel of our Kerala trip�wish we could have stayed longer! We stayed in a Blue Pearl room with private plunge pool - very romantic. Room was spacious and had a lovely outdoor bathroom. Main swimming pool was a good size and not crowded. Very close to a beautiful beach - great sunset views. Enjoyed complimentary yoga class in the morning and free afternoon tea and snacks by the pool. Excellent breakfast. Good selection of games at the restaurant. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good massage at the spa.

�Highlight of our trip in Kerala - Had a one night stay with friends after a hectic couple of days going around Kerala. The houseboat stay was just what we needed! The houseboat itself was huge, with a dining area downstairs and upper lounge area which gave you some fantastic views of the Backwaters. The staff and crew we incredibly friendly, they brought up coconut water on arrival and fried plantains as snacks whilst we enjoyed our cruise. We then departed the boat for a quick trip in smaller boats down the beautiful Backwaters, before an amazing traditional dinner in the evening and a chance to wind down as the sun set at night - the views were incredible! Absolutely the highlight of our trip, would de�nitely recommend to anyone looking to do something a bit different in the South of India.�

'Just as parents cannot choose between their brood of children and declare one a favourite over the others, we too cannot say which Xandari resort was our favourite. Was it Xandari Harbour, Xandari Pearl, or the houseboat? Each was unique but all three have the Xandari stamp of excellence... a deep respect for the past and the environment combined with 21st century chic; cuisine that did kathakali on our taste buds, and scenic locations with nature just an arm's reach away. Throw in smiling proactive staff and an immersive menu of activities which ensured there was never a dull moment...and you have a holiday to remember!'
